Applicants must take and pass entrance examinations and an interview conducted by Hirosaki University. 

For international / foreign students, the Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students (EJU) is required in the year before application. 

Because most undergraduate classes are taught in Japanese, a high level of Japanese ability is required. 

The university selects students via a “comprehensive examination” which includes: academic achievement, interviews, EJU results, and submission of reports / surveys. 

In the School of Medicine, admission also involves:

 • Application documents

 • The National Center Test for University Admissions

 • Written exam (mock lecture, case study)

 • Interview to assess aptitude as a healthcare professional.
